“And I want to make one point very clear – I do not believe that silencing Joe is the answer.”Įk's message came a day after Rogan apologised for using racist slurs on his podcast and removed several episodes from Spotify.
“While I strongly condemn what Joe has said and I agree with his decision to remove past episodes from our platform, I realise some will want more,” Daniel Ek said in the note. Spotify's CEO wrote in a note to employees Sunday that while he condemned podcaster Joe Rogan's use of racist language, he did not believe that cutting ties with the popular personality was the answer.
